It seems you will see quite a bit of work in the house in the near future, but it will be lovely to go into the winter with so much completed.
I hope all goes well with the upcoming appointment for your DH.
And well done for the winnings and the M&S haul! And an even bigger well done for the weight loss and good blood sugars!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

All good. It will be nice at Christmas to enjoy your improved space.
Your blood sugar control is great...you've come a long way with it and what's more you have stuck at it...If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

That's a genius idea on the cup holder liners, always the worst thing to clean out in my car. I will keep an eye out for some.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

The Hal use sounds as if it’s coming along very nicely. Once it’s decorated you’ll feel you’re living in a palace 😀January spends - £587.582

First off, the bad news, I’m up 2 lbs but don’t actually understand why other than they must’ve been missing me. Good news is that sugar levels are within range. Another piece of good news is that relative who had serious health issues last year, hit another recovery milestone.
dh got seen at the hospital and was advised that a worst case scenario is unlikely but a referral was made for a scan. This is scheduled for next Friday. I’m unsure if I should be comforted or worried. I’ve been dragging my heels with work and have deadlines for tomorrow. I need to learn how to work without creating serious pressure.On other news, it looks like I spoke too soon as my builder is currently on the missing list. Chasing him is on my to do list for tomorrow.

That's really good news about your relative! Hopefully your DH's appointment will be a positive as well. I hate the waiting time when this sort of thing comes up.
Sorry to hear the 2lbs couldn't leave you long-term, but you are headed in the right direction, and the blood sugar is very encouraging.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Good news about the blood sugars and the relative. Hope DH scan goes ok and you find the builder!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

BS being in the normal range is much more important than a few fluctuating poundsIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
